things you'll need
2 eggs
1/2 cup chopped or snipped fresh spinach (about 1 oz.)
1/4 cup cottage cheese
2 tablespoons chopped cooked lean ham (about 1 oz.)
Cooking spray
getting started
Break the eggs into the bowl. Add the spinach, cheese and ham. Beat with the fork until the ingredients are well blended and you can't see any streaks of egg white any more. Put the bowl aside.
Coat the pan evenly with the spray. Put the pan on a burner and heat it over medium heat for a little bit. Sprinkle a few drops of water into the pan. The pan is hot enough when the water sizzles and dances in the pan.
Pour the beaten eggs into the pan. The eggs will start to set. Hold the pancake turner upside down and gently pull it across the bottom and sides of the pan. Keep pulling the pancake turner through the eggs until they're thick and you can't see any more liquid eggs in the pan. Don't stir all the time or the eggs will break into tiny pieces. Remove the pan from the burner. When the eggs are thick and there is no more liquid egg in the pan, lift the eggs out of the pan with the pancake turner and put them on the plate(s).

7 Easy Breakfast Recipes: Healthy Breakfast in Less Than 5 Minutes (menshealth.com)
Minute Omelette with Toast
Prep time: 2 minutes
1 egg
3/4 c frozen spinach, thawed
1 slice Canadian bacon, diced
2 slices whole-wheat bread
1 Tbsp almond butter
1 c Welch's grape juice
Stir together the egg, spinach, and Canadian bacon and pour onto a plate coated with nonstick spray. Microwave for 1 minute or until the egg is fully cooked. Toast the bread and eat it with the almond butter. Chase everything with grape juice.
Benefits: Monounsaturated fat in the almond spread will help prevent spikes and drops in blood sugar, which can leave you feeling tired or crabby. Grape juice gives you an antioxidant, called resveratrol, that not only helps lower LDL (bad) cholesterol levels but also helps improve bloodflow to the heart.

Two PB-and-Banana Wraps With Milk
Prep time: 2 minutes
2 Tbsp peanut butter
2 Eggo Special K waffles
1 medium banana
1/2 pint fat-free chocolate milk
Spread a tablespoon of peanut butter over each (briefly microwaved) waffle. Divide the banana between them and roll each to make wraps. Wash down with chocolate milk.
Benefits: Eggo's Special K waffles supply complex carbohydrates, which break down slowly in the body and stimulate the production of serotonin, a calming brain chemical. The banana is packed with potassium -- a heart protector.
Per meal: 570 calories, 23 g protein, 90 g carbohydrates, 16 g total fat, 7 g fiber
The Santa Fe Burrito
Prep time: 4 minutes
2 eggs
1 c Santa Fe frozen mixed vegetables (black beans, peppers, and corn)
1 flour tortilla
1/2 c low-fat shredded Cheddar cheese
1/4 c salsa
Mix the eggs and vegetables and spread the mixture on a plate coated with nonstick spray. Cook in the microwave for 1 minute, stir with a fork, and microwave again until the eggs are cooked and the vegetables warm. Pile onto a flour tortilla, top with shredded Cheddar cheese and salsa, fold, and eat.
Benefits: "Without protein, guys can lose muscle mass quickly," says William J. Evans, Ph.D., a professor of geriatrics, physiology, and nutrition at the University of Arkansas. This meal is packed with it.

Black-Cherry Smoothie and Peanut-Butter Oatmeal
Prep time: 4 minutes
1 c R.W. Knudsen black-cherry juice
1 c frozen strawberries
1 c frozen unsweetened cherries
2 Tbsp protein powder
2/3 c oatmeal
1 Tbsp peanut butter
1/2 c fat-free milk
Blend the cherry juice, frozen fruit, and protein powder until smooth. Microwave the oatmeal according to the directions on the package. Stir in the peanut butter and milk.
Benefits: Men who ate at least one serving of whole-grain cereal (like oatmeal) a day had the lowest risk of dying of any cause, including heart disease, according to a 5-year study of 86,000 doctors. Cherries and strawberries are natural sources of salicylates -- the active ingredient in aspirin -- making them ideal for relieving stress-induced morning headaches.

1 Stonyfield Farm smoothie
Spread the almond butter on the waffles. Sprinkle the raisins over one waffle and top with the other. Wash down with the smoothie.

Blueberry Smoothie With Toasted-Cheese Sandwich
Prep time: 4 minutes
2 slices whole-wheat bread
1/2 c Kashi Go Lean Crunch! cereal

1 1-oz slice Cheddar cheese
Pop the bread into the toaster. Dump the cereal, milk, and berries into a blender and liquefy. Stick a slice of Cheddar between the warm slices of toast and nuke the sandwich in a microwave for 15 seconds. It tastes grilled -- but isn't.
Benefits: "The cheese and milk in this meal are essential for building and maintaining new muscle," says Christine Rosenbloom, Ph.D., R.D., a professor of nutrition at Georgia State University. "The whole grains in the bread and cereal will help lower cholesterol, and the minerals in the milk and cheese will help keep blood-pressure levels down."

My favourite breakfast right now that keeps me full for hours is 1 cup plain oatmeal with 1/3 c wheat bran added while it is cooking. I add cinnamon and a splash of milk to it and have piece of fruit (usually a banana). The best part about this breakfast is it is high in fibre almost half your daily requirement. I add 2 tablespoons of natural peanut butter to it sometimes or use it on my fruit to get my protein. I eat this around 7am and will stay full until lunch.
Oh these sound so good!!I'm going to try them ALL! I make my own version of the McMuffin-but I call it the McMartini! My family really loves it!! I take 2 egg whites and 2 links of the Jennie-O sausage links (chopped) and scramble them together and then put it between an Orowheat (110 calorie) whole wheat/high fiber english muffin. I also like to add some hot sauce for the exta kick!! :rolleyes:
